Chapter 92: The Zoraks (1/2)
There were different types of Appraisal spells and skills of various tiers. Some specialized in appraising items or magic items and others Beasts and monsters. Naturally, there were also ones that could appraise people although those were incredibly rare high-level skills that used the combined forces of both appraisal magic and divination to tell certain information about someone the skill or spell was used on.
Not wanting to think about this anymore, Tyler returned his attention to the shadow Assassin as he shook his head.
Thankfully he had gotten the general information he was after but it was a frustrating bit of news. Although he still wasn't aware of what triggers the creation of certain undead creatures he had already created. It was still disappointing to know that only an Eldar Lich's racial skill could create the shadow Assassin.
So far he had created a Black Knight from the corpse of a warrior and a Lich from the corpse of a mage. Perhaps the class of the corpses had a major factor in the undead creation. Of course, the strength of the spell and the level of the corpse should also play a major role in that aspect.
There was still a lot he didn't know about necromancy and heading into it blindfolded was not a very good idea. Tyler sighed inwardly and turned around to leave the room. He had thought about testing something on this undead but now was probably not the right time.
He needed to deal with the scout upstairs and then the two unique trolls before using those scouts' bodies in creating more undead to increase the forces in the castle even if it was only by a little.
He walked back to the north wing, before heading to the west and up to the fifth floor where he saw Albert waiting outside the room they had kept the scout in. Albert bowed slightly the moment he noticed him and Tyler acknowledged it before entering the room after Albert had opened the door for him.
Walking inside the smaller but equally an exquisitely designed room. His eyes swept through the interior of the room and landed on the incredibly handsome male figure that sat on the bed in one corner of the room.
There was also a female figure stationed in the room that had bowed at him upon his entrance but Tyler could not pay much attention to her as the male scout had stolen his attention. He had last seen this scout in the forest almost completely drenched in blood so Tyler almost didn't recognize the person right in front of him now.
He looked insanely handsome. The type of guy Tyler would often see modeling in top magazines back on earth. He had short light blonde hair and golden colored pupils. Even wearing the same starter character outfit that Tyler had worn previously. He looked as though he was wearing a top-brand outfit.
Tyler slowly got more irritated the more he looked at this man. Tyler never really thought much about appearance but if he was to judge himself. He had always considered himself to be quite handsome and even faced with this guy's appearance, Tyler still thought his appearance wasn't that far off.
What pissed him off though was the fact that this guy looked better in almost the same lame-ass outfit as the one he had first found in this castle. He made it seem like the clothes were of a much higher quality than they should and that made him a bit jealous.
Tyler quickly shook these distracting thoughts off his mind as now was not the time and his irritation seemed to have made ye scout nervous. Tyler walked into the room as sat on the sofa as Albert stood next to him.
They both stared at him for a full minute before Tyler finally opened his mouth to speak. ”Name?”
”Zomatsu Zorak,” Zomatsu said with little to no hesitation in his eyes. His voice firm and showed no signs of fear or intimidation. He had already regained his complete memories and now fully recalled the sequence of events that had unfolded in the Darknar forest.
In exchange for his life and Bor's he had offered to provide this young man with any information he wanted and although he wasn't sure if Bor was still alive. The moment the man had entered the room he had chosen to tell him whatever he wanted to know Without a second thought.
Naturally, he had come up with several plans on how to handle this situation and turned it into a more favorable condition for him but that all went out the window when the man had walked in. It wasn't that he was intimidated by his aura and wanted to talk because he couldn't handle the pressure, No. It was in fact the opposite.
He had not noticed it before due to his predicament but the man in front of him exuded no aura. To be frank it was more like he had no aura and that had Zomatsu more than the pressure he felt from the Zorak family's young master. Zomatsu was a genius in his own right. He was someone that mostly acted based on his information.
Due to that information, he knew that this could only be done if someone was several degrees above his level. Frankly speaking, he was too weak to even comprehend the aura of the man before him and that was not someone he could afford to annoy with petty tricks, but he still had to at least ask something first.
”My apologies if I'm being rude but, my comrade, the one next to me at the time. Is he okay?”
Tyler tilted his head as he tried to recall, he then remembered who this guy was talking about and answered curtly. ”Yes, he is, as I recall, his life and yours were part of the bargain for information I need from you so naturally, I'll keep my word.”
Zomatsu didn't think much about the matter anymore and nodded. He was grateful the two brothers had tried to save him, so he at least wanted one of them to make it.
”Is that all you wanted to ask?”
”Yes sir.”
”Very well then, let's start from the beginning.”
”The beginning?”
”Yes... From the beginning, tell me everything about the Zorak family.”
